Default NLHE: Bottom 2 pair v. weak-tight player on the flop

$500 NL Resorts Casino (bought from Harrah's recently)
Blinds: 2/5

Me: on the button with an sbove average stack of $700+ over 45 minutes. I've been a bit fast with position due to some unusually semi-tight play.

Hand:

4 folds, Villian limps for $5, CO folds, Hero raises to $20, Blinds fold, Villian calls $15.

Flop:

Villian checks. Hero ________? Fill in the blank.

Villian doesn't play many hands, but is very passive. Your typical "weak-tight" player. Limping with AK wouldn't shock me as would checking with a pair of Kings on the flop with an AK or KQ. Though limping with AQ, JJ, TT, 99, or AJ wouldn't shock me here either. I don't think he's calling my raise with A7, A5, KJ, or KT, and I think he's re-raising, if not opening, PF with AA, KK, or QQ.

I'm not questioning whether I have the best hand or not, but there are a lot of newer people here on the forum and what I did wouldn't come as much of a surprise to many and I'll update this hand every other day.

Questions:
1.) What do I do here?
2.) What do I want Villian to do?
3.) How does my action that you suggest get what I want from Villian?
4.) What's my plan after Villian's expected reaction?
5.) What's my plan if I don't get the reaction that I want? Basically, how would I react to a check on the turn?
6.) Are there any real scare cards to come?

Go at it, boys and girls.

I'm always open to criticism, but I'm not going to take much criticism to my PF raise unless there's an articulate reason because in this spot, I was raising. If you want to discuss the PF raise or are just curious as to why, feel free to start another thread with a link to this one. I'm not trying to be a jackass, but I'd like if this thread were concentrated on the flop. I don't have 57s. I have bottom 2 pair on the button.
